No matter how hard it rains I don't think I've ever seen a bird looking wet before but this Great Spotted Woodpecker (Dendrocopos major) that visited one of my feeders today looked distinctly damp!

Those red butts are like traffic signals! And likewise the red spot in the neck but only the males have those.
